WOMAN IN LITERATURE.
What the Geniler Sex Have Done Ia the
Writing Line.


I remember how great was the longing
among intelligent women thirty or forty
years ago to do greater share of the lit
erary work of the nation. 8 few vetured
forth timfdly from the kitchen 10 do it,
perhaps bringing with them in their hands
q new cookery book, like Mrs. Childs and
Mrs. Leslie, to propitiate the other sex
and prove that they hGd in manner
worked their passage into freedom. Now
they still bring the cookery book, like
Marion Harland, who has indeed brought
$50, 900 copies CT hers, but it is no longer
needed as an apology.
Mrs. Woods points out that there are
about $500 women engaged in literary
work in or nesr Boston, including, no
doubt, all grades of journalism; that out
OF 1913 authors on the publishing list of
Roberts Brothers, seventy seven are
women; that there are the Lanes OF fifty
five women on Ticknor's list, eighty on
Houghton's and eighty on the Methodist
book concern. The demand of literary
expression being thus in part satiated, il
is the most natural thing In the wo: ld
that there should be demand for actor
as well as literature, and that the press
ure for executive and public duties on the
part of women should only be increased
by the fact that they have already fire.,
course II the field of mere literary ex
preston. Granted pursuit there il
still needed some other pursuit.

Dr. Gross Autobiography.
I became acquaint 1 with Mr.. Forrest
under peculiar circumstances. In the
summer of 1928 Professor George Nc
Clellar called st my office at Liberty and
Fifth Streets, in this city, to ask me if on
the morrow l would accompany Mr. Ed
win Forrest to the Pennsylvania hospital,
adding that the young actor was study
ing the character OF Lesr, and was anX
ious to see g Mr.. Rush, VINO had long
been confined in that institu ion on &C
count Of insanity. My answer was:
"CertGiuly; it will afford me much
pleasure to be of service, in any
manner possible, to you or to your

hour appointed for our meeting et Nc

then perhaps the most famous bar IN the
United States, adorned as it was by many
Of the leading minds OF the county. T. {

Clinton and Pay for tho Amusement

CLINTON, ILL, Sept. 13.-Lsst night
Clinton was treated to real sensation,
which fortunately had no serious coDse-
quences. a well known piano tuner,
named A. j. Carroll, has hsbitually
hitched his horse directly in front Of a
hor<e belonging TO Mrs. Berry, who
has resided here long time. Mrs. Berry
has demonstrated with him repeatedly,
but Mr. Carroll was SO deaf to her pro-
testations that her patience finally oozed
aWsy. For soma time she has sought op-
portunity 20 administer appropriate pun
ishmenti and developed plan which
was to be placed in operation on
the first suitable occasion. The chance
came last night. Carroll drove up
in the evening, hitched his horse st Mrs,
Berry's as usual, and then went sway to
transact his business. While he was gone
Mrs. Berry emerged from her house, Sc
cured CARROTS buggy whip and awaited
his return. He came in q short time, and
was greeted with such shower CT sting
ing blows over the head and shoulders
that before he succeeded in recovering
his whip he was pretty seriously dis
figured. He repossessed himcelf Of ne
whip IN short time and took his turn a
the exercise. Then Mrs. Berry found t
her astonishment that she, too, WAS to bt
tortured. Carroll returned the whippiD!
with interest, and this morning both par

Some years ago a wealthy Phila-
delphian left $60.00 in a will TO be
used for the investigation of the phys
zeal phenomenon Of spiritualiSm.
The Committee has recently made
report stating their inability to
find any manifestations not explain
able by natural causes.
The Scientific American however
takes issue with the Committee
and points to the fact that Com
mittee of German Scientists have
made a similar Investigation aud
made an exactly opposite report.
The Scientific American, journal
which does not jump at conclusions
without careful investigation. as
serts that the presence of a mysterI
GUS force In nature has been clear
~ established and it is 70 ly for
any body of advanced thinkers to
despite it.
The force that causes tables and
chairs to move, independent of
human agency, it calls an odic
force and claims that men Of the
profoundest scientific attainment
have been utterly unable to account
for it though recognizing its exist
ance. The report of the COMMITTEE e
states that expert jugelers dupli-
Gated all the manipulatiops of
spiritualism.
Admitting this to be the fact,
does the duplication of any phe-
nomenon establish the fact that it
is fra uduleut? A fash of lightning
can be duplicated by science, but
this does not make the original
fash fraud.
The report of the Philadelphia
Committee will not shake the faith
of single believer nor will the re
port of the German Committee
cause a single skeptic to take any
more stock than ever In the medi-
ums of the day.
That the country is crowded with
mediums who are frauds and trick
sters, no one will deny and the ex-
posure of these frauds occurs al
most daily. There is scarcely a
person who has not at some period
of their lives personally investi-
gated the subject. The world is
thus divided into three classes;
those who believe, those who dis
believe and those who are in a
quandry. There can be no harm
in investigation and investigation
alone will sift the false from the
true.
